There are thousands of people out there, all with great skills. There's also thousands of jobs, all great opportunities. We need to find the one person who's the right fit for us... the right skills, the right mindset... somebody who will fit into our culture. You (hopefully) need to find the one job that's right for you: something where you're as excited to go to work on the 1000th day as you are on the 1st day.So how do we meet each other? The signal-to-noise ratio is low here. This is probably the 100th post you've looked at, and we get hundreds of candidates every time we post. I have a proposal:I've tried to share a lot about our company and our culture in this post, and on our website and elsewhere. Do a little homework on us. After that, if this job really, truly excites you, and you think you'd be great at it, tell me why in your cover letter. I don't need to know that you worked at 'ACME, Inc.' for ten years -- I can get that from your resume. And I don't need to know that you're 'professional, responsive and detail-oriented'. Everybody says that. I'm reading every submission personally, and what I really need to know is who you are, what you can do, and why you think this would be awesome.My name is David and I'm a real person. So are you. Let's start there.
